Thompson on dementia: 'It doesn't look like me'

Thompson, who was part of the England team that won the 2003 Rugby World Cup, has been diagnosed with early onset dementia. In an interview with former teammate Ben Youngs, Thompson expressed distress that he has no recollection of the historic victory.

The former hooker admitted that watching footage of the final feels surreal, stating 'It doesn't look like me.' Thompson's revelation comes amid growing concerns about long-term brain injuries in rugby.
